SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:6
En el cual cuando puse los ojos, consider y vi animales terrestres de cuatro pies, y fieras, y reptiles, y aves del cielo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes , etc.] Not of his body, but of his mind; for this was only in vision presented to him, when he was as Paul was, not knowing whether in the body or out of it: I considered : being intent upon this object, he considered in his mind what it was, and what it should mean; it being something strange and unusual; which came down from heaven, and out of it, and came so close and near to him, that it engrossed all his thoughts, and was the subject of deep meditation: and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air ; not pourtrayed upon the sheet, but standing or walking upon it; the Syriac Version leaves out, the wild beasts; and the Ethiopic versions, the creeping things; but both are in the Greek copies, and in other versions.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-18 - The imperfect state of human nature strongly appears, when godl persons are displeased even to hear that the word of God has bee received, because their own system has not been attended to. And we ar too apt to despair of doing good to those who yet, when tried, prove very teachable. It is the bane and damage of the church, to shut ou those from it, and from the benefit of the means of grace, who are no in every thing as we are. Peter stated the whole affair. We should a all times bear with the infirmities of our brethren; and instead of taking offence, or answering with warmth, we should explain ou motives, and show the nature of our proceedings. That preaching i certainly right, with which the Holy Ghost is given. While men are very zealous for their own regulations, they should take care that they d not withstand God; and those who love the Lord will glorify him, when made sure that he has given repentance to life to any fellow-sinners Repentance is God's gift; not only his free grace accepts it, but his mighty grace works it in us, grace takes away the heart of stone, an gives us a heart of flesh. The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:6 {When I had fastened my eyes} (atenisas). this personal touch Peter adds from his own experience. See on #Lu 4:20; Ac 3:4,12 for this striking verb atenizw, to stretch the eyes towards, first aorist active participle here. {I considered} (katanoew). Imperfect active of kataneow to put the mind down on, to ponder, I was pondering. {And saw} (kai eidon). Second aorist active indicative, saw in a flash.
